On his Girl on the Train character: “It doesn’t matter if you’re the psychopath or the fairy godmother, you have to bring something of yourself to that character and I think that’s what I did with him. I saw Scott as a human in many ways; he was a man being suspected of something he absolutely wasn’t. We’ve all been in places in our lives when we felt we weren’t being heard or we had questions we couldn’t answer and we dealt with pain and heartbreak and loss and anger.”

On filming Beauty & the Beast (where he plays Gaston): “It was a really lovely feeling to merge two parts of my career, which have taken up most of my adult life, and put them together and do it in such a wonderful vehicle. It was just one of those moments, I don’t think I’ll ever forget it. I hope it’s not the last time I’ll get to sing in a film, but it certainly was a nice way to start singing and make people realize that I can.”

Here is what the 37-year-old The Girl on the Train actor shared with the mag:

On being single: He treats the single life as an opportunity for “finding contentment with myself, and not relying on anybody else to validate it. I think being an only child has hindered that slightly, because I’ve always wanted to be around other people.”

On avoiding the topic of his sexuality: “If somebody talks to me about my personal life, well, the clue is in the title: it’s personal, it’s private. I’m protecting myself, not because it’s anything that I’m embarrassed about, but because it’s mine.”

Here is the synopsis (via THR): “In a superhero origin tale unlike any other, this is the true story of 1940s Harvard psychologist Dr. William Moulton Marston, the inventor of the lie detector and creator of the iconic Wonder Woman, who defends his feminist superhero against charges of ‘sexual perversity’ while at the same time maintaining a secret that could have destroyed him. Unknown to others, Marston’s inspiration for Wonder Woman was his wife Elizabeth Marston and their lover Olive Byrne, two empowered women in the field of psychology who defied convention, building a secret life together with Marston that rivaled the greatest of superhero disguises.”

All three of the actors announced their roles on Instagram.

“I’m so happy to announce that I’ll be playing Professor Marston in Professor Marston And The Wonder Women (alongside @realrrbecca and @bellalheathcote). I’m looking forward to getting under the skin of such a complicated and influential man – the creator of Wonder Woman and co-inventor of the lie detector,” Luke said.

The highly anticipated new movie The Girl on the Train is now in theaters and it is expected to be the biggest film at the box office this weekend!

Emily Blunt stars in the book-to-screen adaptation as Rachel Watson, who is devastated by her recent divorce and spends her daily commute fantasizing about the seemingly perfect couple who live in a house that her train passes every day, until one morning she sees something shocking happen there and becomes entangled in the mystery that unfolds.

Here is what the 37-year-old The Girl On the Train actor had to share with the mag:

On feeling a connection with a character: “I felt that with Bard the Bowman [in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug], although I’m not a father yet. I felt his human spirit. I understood it completely and what he was fighting for. He was willing to take on a dragon the size of the Empire State Building to save his people with one arrow. He was the most self-sacrificing man and I admired him. He was a fantastic character to play.”

On getting cast in Beauty and the Beast: “I had to audition. They wanted to hear everybody. I can tell you huge names that were in the room before me and after me. I was like, ‘F–k.’ Everybody was being seen for these roles, and for Gaston especially… I’m in a fortunate position that sometimes you just get offered roles—they’re not necessarily the roles you take, but to get offered a film is amazing. I think the work you’ve done before that is why you get it. But when you audition for something you do feel a little bit more legit. It’s a validation that you are the right person for the job because they’ve chosen and they’ve seen you do something connected to that role.”

Luke Evans flashes a smile while heading into SiriusXM Studios for an interview on Tuesday (September 27) in New York City.

The 37-year-old actor is currently promoting his new movie The Girl on the Train.

In an interview with LRM, Luke was asked if he would be reprising the role of Dracula in the upcoming Monsters Universe films after playing the character in Dracula Untold.

“There have been talks and conversations. I think the bigger picture is exciting for all the monsters that they own. There is talk about it,” Luke said. “I just don’t know how it will all manifest itself. I think it will happen and I think they’re just working out how these monsters interact and how they end up in the same realm with each other. If they can stick Captain America in a scene with Iron Man and Thor, I think you can definitely put Wolf Man, the Invisible Man, The Mummy and Dracula in the same film as well.”
